In 2025, the Puyallup City Council increased several taxes and fees, including a 6% rise in property taxes to fund a new police station rental, along with hikes in electricity, gas, and cable fees. They also imposed a new transportation tax district, raising sales tax from 10.1% to 10.2% circumventing state limitations. Amid staff cuts affecting essential services, the council redirected utility fees for an expensive street project. Puyallup Voters for Integrity is surveying residents to gauge awareness and opinions on these changes, aiming to hold elected officials accountable in upcoming elections.
